NC State will host its annual Employee Appreciation Event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 11 at Reynolds Coliseum.

The annual event features giveaways, music, games and other activities. Lunch is served, too.

This year’s event falls on Veterans Day, so NC State also will use it to honor faculty and staff who have served in the U.S. military. Employees who are veterans will receive a special gift during the event.

NC State also is planning to collect items for care packages during the event and send the packages to active-duty military members.
